Conference Talk

Shelbi Stanfill-- one of the original voices of Conference Talk-- joins us to talk about Elder Kearon's talk on new beginnings through Christ just in time for the New Year! And with that new beginning, we have a somewhat sad announcement. But what better way to break it than sandwiched with the dulcet tones of Elder Kearon. 😉

So long, it's been a great ride, and maybe we'll reboot this show again sometime!

Is the Family Proclamation a statement of policy? A document written by lawyers for the Church to use in amicus briefs against same-sex marriage? Did Pres. Hinckley commandeer the Relief Society meeting to present the Family Proclamation? Did the Relief Society Presidency feel excluded by not reviewing it in advance? Is it "just a matter of time" until the Church comes around and caves to social pressure to institute same-sex sealings?
Matthew has written about these and other myths that have plagued Church members for too long. So has Angela. And now, so has Elder Ronald A. Rasband in his mic drop talk from this Conference.
We're "bringing receipts" and laying down the truth: The Family Proclamation is revelatory and doctrinal. And it isn't going away!
